Abstract
The new name Friis & Vollesen, nom. nov., is proposed here for the rare species previously known as Baker (1898), non Baker (1901), nom. illeg., nec Baker (1892). Due to observations made by the authors from the Imatong Mountains the range of this species is extended from West Africa (Sierra Leone and Guineé) to South Sudan. Throughout its range, the species is found in frequently burnt grasslands and wooded grasslands on the slopes of crystalline hills in the Sudanian region or in the transition zone to the Guineo‐Congolian region. An improved description of this rarely collected species has been prepared on the basis of all material now available.
